The main ingredient is eau de vie with the addition of twenty-seven herbs, plants, roots, peels and skins.<br \/>\n During the French Revolution, the abbey was destroyed. The composition of the liqueur remained a secret until a certain Alexandre le Grand found the recipe in a library in 1863 and started distilling the elixir in a distillery on the site of the former abbey.<\/p>\n<p> The first year 28,000 bottles were sold, ten years later 150,000 pieces. Today it is millions of litres.<\/p>\n<p>Benedictine labels always say DOM, the abbreviation of Deo optimo maximo: for God, the best and the greatest. Benedictine is related to chartreuse, a liqueur distilled by the Carthusian monks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French liqueur <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/benedictine\/\">read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eponiemen","infinite-scroll-item"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1850"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1850\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1851,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1850\/revisions\/1851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
